President Obama’s nominee for be the next US Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power got off to a rough start with the Israel Lobby with the revelation of a 2002 video in which she expressed support for international intervention in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Power has loudly disavowed that comment since, and promises that should her nomination go through she will work tirelessly as an ambassador at the UN to “defend Israel,” saying she would “go on offense and defense” to stop UN criticism of the nation.
Power went on to say that America’s “special relationship” with Israel would have to be preserved and that she would work to secure a seat on the UN Security Council for Israel.
Power insisted that there was an “unacceptable bias” against Israel at the UN, though in practice the US has used its veto power at the Security Council to prevent any resolutions seen as critical of Israel.
This yet another reason why Samantha Power has and will continue to have zero credibility. Another piece of wretched foreign policy- the first was her perverted use of “humanitarian intervention”. (Where was she when the Palestinians needed the US to intervene? One peep in 2002, then slammed by AIPAC, and since then she’s shut her trap.)
put it down to the zionists, It's all the same big Soap Opera choreographed from Israel. Trying real hard to ''commission the plant" of One World Govt. I think NOT. Not even hard-core ashkenazi extremists are going to get the cat back inside the bag. We've been had, poor cattle………
Samantha Power is a traitor to the American people, and to human rights. Israel will never be elected to the security council in this lifetime, since it is a racist terrorist entity whose entire existence is a lie. The new directives from the EU regarding illegal settlements will carry over to any discussion of the Zionist entity serving on the security council…..what a canard the Obama cabal is!
If she works tirelessly for Israel then let them pay her! We need someone to work tirelessly for the US of A!
The only friend of USA in Middle East is Israel, in regard to USA Neo politics, preemptive wars and etc. the Saudis and UAE have joined in sharing the common bound in stealing the wealth of people in Middle East and in North Africa. Saudis, UAE, Turkey, Egyptians Muslim brotherhood are after to expend their social and political territory.
If US lost these regimes, in particular Saudis and UAE then there won't be any Israel to support USA and its hegemony, therefore, anyone that represent USA idea in militarizing the entire Middle East from Lebanon to Pakistan and Central Asia needs to support Israel as if Israel was the USA government dictating for the American working man and women how to live and what to eat. But that is not the case, Israel is another country, as America was created on the stolen land from the native Americans, Israel is Israel because Israel also was created on a stolen land, the world responsibility here is to face the fact that USA is a racist and its governing system is based on a militarism regime, so is the fact with Israel.
It is not Israel that runs the us government, on the contrary, it is USA interests driving Israel and its lobbyist to limit the power of American people to understand or to distinction between the bad and the real ugly one, us government while in bed with Saudis and Wahhabis archiving a business relations here and there, creating wars on behalf of Saudis and UAE is actually doing something good for Israel. returning the favor, Israel threatening Iran and others with preemptive wars which is ideal for USA hegemony. Now a days and to some point the world have come to its seances wanting to change their standing toward USA, UN is part of that game played by USA and Israel, no matter the names of ambassadors representing USA government at UN they need to support the only friend they have or even emphasize their support for giving Israel a better political position at UN, the question is if they will succeed. The political work of Israel in america is based on LLC, limited liability corporation, us business relations with Israel is limited to almost free stuff for Israel nothing for USA export but free war machineries, it is up to the American people to vote them out of their site, for us government Israel is a good tool and can be used or abused in Middle East and els where no matter the Israeli regime, the only way for Israel to obey the rules of laws is for Israel to be isolated and boycotted by the majority votes at the UN security council, but if Israel becomes one of the member then Israel will be the one voting against such a masseurs, that's where Samantha Powers comes into picture. Nonetheless, this act by USA government shows the fact that Israel is about to become a isolated by the world community as once the South African apartheid regime was, it also shows that us government is desperate to save the only friend it got in this world.
The only friend on Earth Americans have is a group of terrorists called Is ra el. The UN is the other disgusting arm of American terrorism.
We don't need the UN or the US.
Before we got so "friendly" with Israel, the US had plenty of friends world wide.
Let me get this straight – she is going to work full-time for the benefit of Israel, and we the American tax-payers are going to pay 100% of her salary?
Yup, that's how it goes. We even pay them their 'aid' up front, so they can make interest on the whole sum, unlike any other receiving nation, where the aid goes out in batches.
"she would work to secure a seat on the UN Security Council for Israel."
Powers is also going to do Bibi and Sarah's laundry and errands.
She should be disallowed from serving just based on her statement alone. Her ONLY priority should be representing the US people – not defending Israel when they do wrong…which is pretty much always. We don't need another high government official putting Israel first before the US. We have enough of them in the Congress.
The Israeli lobby has her on her knees begging to have the opportunity to adore Israel, the key to success in American politics. But can she grovel enough ? It sounds like it. If she keeps it up she'll be both fabulously wealthy and successful. When you have the 'key' secret doors will open to a treasure house of opportunities.
Roger, Roger on that "fabulously wealthy" part. Ole Bill Clinton just got paid $500,000 by some Zionist group to say a few words at some memorial to Shimon Peres – just consider it recognition for past favors including pardoning Marc Rich
So? Isn't ANY US gov't employee ordained to work "tirelessly" for Israel?
Does she seriously expect Israel to get the entry ticket to the UN Security Council? I can only imagine this to be politicial blustering.
Let's recall who is in there:
PRC; France; Russia; and UK/USA
In other words, the three survivors of WWII, the colonial state of France, and the Chinese nationalist ally.
There is no reason to allow anything sub-tier like Israel to the table (I would think that Brazil or Australia or South Africa or Germany or Japan or India or Canada would have something to say) except if the new reasoning is that nuclear-armed nations should have a seat. Which would be telling.
Nope, not gonna happen.
Those are the five "permanent" members of the USNC. There are also 10 "non-permanent" member nations that get staggered two-year terms. The current "non-permanent" members are Argentina, Australia, Rwanda, Luxembourg, South Korea, Azerbaijan, Guatemala, Morocco, Pakistan and Togo.
the "bias" against Israel extends to the rest of the world. every year since the early 70s, the UN has been posing multiple resolutions per year condemning Israel's aggression and treatment of the Palestinians. The resolutions are usually voted 191 to 2, the 2 being of course US and Israel. This is not bias, this is the whole world seeing exactly what is going on, and the two criminals not wanting to condemn themselves.
Apparently Ms. Power doesn't understand that Israel's core values are racism and apartheid. If Samantha Power is approved by the Senate, we can look forward to endless "humanitarian" wars, forever.
Israel has an "unacceptable bias" against Palestinians having access to water supplies. (I do realize this is an exact parallel of the US government position with regard to water supplies and our original inhabitants as well.)
You people don't get it do you? As long as you name Israel for whatever Israel is and for your personal feeling to be satisfied its fine and dandy, isn't it? Look: us and Israel are the entity of each other, they work for the same thing and that is Zionism idea in one hand and imperialism in the other, there is a common bound here which you people are missing. Zionism is looking to have the world as its sanctuary, that what Zionism means, imperialism have the same idea. For these two regimes achieving their goals, lately they have realized that non of them are capable nor can do it alone, the Vietnam war was the start of realization for USA not being able to rule the world alone. since 1990 the USA, Israel hand in hand with EU government started cooperating to act as what they are best at, a militarism regimes in one hand and a non functioning democracy in the other but their main agenda was and still is to destroy whatever out there that can be or as obstacle stands against USA, Israel and EU world economic domination, for that they started even cooperating with Wahhabis and other terrorists all over the world, before, during, after and up to date with Taliban and other group alike, the resent such fact is Syria. Paul Wolfowitz is the ideologue hired by state department as deputy secretary who come up with such idea that USA needs to use whatever to confront all and every countries that are against USA interests around the world, especially middle east, he and his co ideologues are one of the most interesting figures from AIPAC.
Later by not achieving anything invading Iraq, not going anywhere further then Afghanistan, they been sharing their beds with Saudis-whabbis and other terrorists groups that they themselves created, so in reality it is USA that's doing everything using everyone and anyones ideas to have done something, now the result is good or bad that's not the question nor the us government asking for the result, as long as there is a war in Middle East there are three elements enjoying the war hoping for it either to continue or they will be the victorious serving the Zionism, imperialism idea. Saudis, UAE and Israel are the key words here, US government been stupid enough for all these years doing nothing about their own non functioning democracy at home, so anyone and every jerks out there can become influential demanding either from the Democratic Party or the republicans for the same of Israel, Saudis and UAE, for us government thinking of their "imperial idea" has been the issue and nothing els which brings us back to the question, why all these wars and not a chance for peace for last 60 years. Then again key words here are, Saudi Arabia, Israel, UAE, religious terrorism and…………… The American people.
Have we lost our marbles?
Is this mentally challenged moron going to represent our country?
Where is the outrage and when will this stop?
Israel has, and continues to be, a major detrimental factor to the USA and
a total embarrassment to our international standing.
Enough is enough!
Note how Washington only requires the Goyim to swear fealty to the Zionist Entity.
